I've been at this for a long time too, Yes C is the language now for embedded devices but sometimes you need assembly for some odd-ball critical case. If so you can mix C and Assembly. Typically you would only ever write at most a few critical sections in assembly. That is the best advice, find a good C compiler. UNLESS this is all new to you and you don't have years of programming experience. In that case get an Arduino. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
